Motion
Rep. Jack Smith moved to end consideration of amendments. As a substitute motion, Rep. Tucker moved that the previous question be ordered on the amendments.
Rep. Jack Smith objected.
The vote recurred on the substitute motion.
By a vote of 43 yeas and 54 nays, the House refused to order the previous question on the amendments.
Rep. Jack Smith insisted on his motion to end consideration of amendments.
Which motion was agreed to.
On motion of Rep. Walker, the amendments were adopted.
Point of Order
Rep. Beard asked for a ruling of the Chair as to whether Senate Bill No. 875, as amended by the House, levied a new fee, and therefore would require the favorable vote of two-thirds of the elected members to finally pass; and whether the bill raises revenue and therefore is in violation of Louisiana Constitution Article III, Section 16(B), requiring all such bills to originate in the House of Representatives.
